GGC, I am assuming you are trying to be helpful and have our best interests at heart. However you need to do a bit of homework; start by reading the executive summary of the ASRR report.
CASA is utterly resistant to change.
CASA is totally untrustworthy.
CASA is capricious, unjust, inequitable and vindictive.
CASA is quite capable of destroying anyones career or business if it decides to. It manufactures the causes and then acts.
This is a matter or record - read the ASRR, read the case of Stan Van der Weill and Schutts aviation, Polar aviation, John Quadrio and Dominic James for starters.
It is a very brave, or stupid, or both person to engage with CASA on anything.
In my opinion, CASA exists because Politicians wish to be insulated from the risks to their careers caused by the inevitable witch hunt following a major aviation accident. CASA provides this flameproofing function - for a price. That pricee is the freedom to do what it likes to most of the industry, excluding Qantas, Virgin and the like. Aviation reform is about as popular as prison reform - there are no votes in it.
